I'm so terribly, terribly confused now. Does posting in here mean that the old thread a priori has 2100 pages, causing a collision in time? I don't want to break reality!!  You just created an alternate JJ Abrams timeline. Let's see what happens when/if Emule and Frictionless post here.  Yuck, don't remind me of the travesty that is "Star Trek" under JJ.  |

There is still work to do  The list is not totally accurate by the way. For instance, it only counts the "official" FB. Nxter has an additional 804 members and there are more FB pages out there, in different languages. Same goes for Twitter. Reddit is correct, and we have had a good month there: 4559 unique visitors and about 120 new subscribers, but we could do better there. Still growing by 6 per day, but that can and should go up. People are quiet in there though, so not much interaction going on. I'd like to have a Q&A thread on reddit, but we'd need a dedicated semi-technical person on there to help out answer the more difficult questions. Such a thread would bring in regular viewers. |

is it wrong to have a video about Nxt and decentralized internet 14 minutes long?
Not at all, as long as the length is needed. |

I was reviewing BCNext's plan as told by CfB here ( http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/BCNext%27s_Plan), and again was pulled up short by this line. "Selfish miners (those who only mine to earn fees) should be "removed" from the system. They are not interested in the success of Nxt and only want to cash out." Have others already talked about what this might mean? How could/should such removal occur? There is a technical question about how to determine if an account is linked to productive, supportive assets, services, etc. And there is a followup question about how such removal occurs. This is relevant to the fee discussion that has generated some heat here. But I am more interested in the philosophical question: what does it mean to support NXT? Does it only mean to create/buy/sell assets, second-order currencies, etc.? (If I've missed the discussion, just point me to a post or thread, please. I didn't see this particular "removal" line addressed in the other forums.) Basically, this discussion has been had over the last week. It's immediately linked to forging payouts. "Selfish" (although some, including me, prefer the term "passive") forgers will, if they are not rewarded more than "break even" for running a node, in all probability not run a node if they have other motives than earning "free Nxt". "Active" forgers, ie. forgers that run a service, would do so, because it allows them to run their service, and cut out operating costs. So, passive forgers would not be "cut out" in any active sense. It would just not be attractive in their terms to do so. However, this discussion is still ongoing. James (jl777) for instance, has proposed methods for these people to earn coins by aggregating CPU power. |

I think the format of what Damelon is doing is exactly what I was talking about. I read his blogs sometimes when they are posted on facebook, didn't realize there was an ongoing library on this site. There should be a link to his blog on the NXT website.
I like how there is an indication at the top of the blog indicating it's topic relevance and in a sense its technical and difficulty level. I would suggest putting info on there that is more basic and descriptive of NX;.
Stuff aimed at audiences who are new to NXT or new to cryptos entirely, and more advanced technical stuff aimed at audiences who are in need of that type of info, as an improvement on what he has done. His work is NXT grad student. It would be nice to have Nxt undergrad and NXT college prep and NXT doctoral work in the same location and in the same format as what he is doing, and to have that site be the go to site for info. That would be a perfect example of my meaning.
I have read Damelon's stuff as I stated previously and it has helped me, but some of it above my level of knowledge as I am not so indoctrinated, and in his own work he admits his own lack of indoctrination in the highly technical. No offense to Damelon, as his work is really done well. He is a propaganda master.
But he is doing relativity and quantum mechanics. There is no Sting theory. There is no Newton. Not a knock to Damelon or a knock to anyone else who has been doing this kind of stuff. It is just that the topic of NXT is so vast. As much as I am in love with the thought of decentralizing the NXT economy as much as possible, I like the idea of centralized NXT information.
I guess that is what my point is. If more basic info and more tech info were added to what he is doing, coupled with the format he is using that allows for updating and audience targeting, when someone asked for a place to look to learn about NXT they could be directed there and would have to look no further.
They could go there and easily index information at a level that they could grasp with out having to search all over the place, sift through info that they are not capable of understanding or info that is elementary and redundant to them. Information that would highlight NXT to our communities advantage and indoctrinate in the ways of NXT.
You're not bashing me at all: you're giving me helpful pointers I líke the idea of topics ordered according to "school levels". I won't be able to make the university parts, but I can do the simpler stuff, like explaining why cryptos exist in the first place. That even gives me the opportunity to go into the philosophy behind it, which is fun! I have been thinking about doing stuff like that anyway, but needed a format, and you just provided it, so thanks! This is exactly why I like this thread, by the way. This wouldn't have come up if it wásn't such a chaotic place  |

Welcome to the thread Nice to see new people coming in and taking the time to introduce themselves. Looking at the video now. |

Everyone just report the guy. Then just ignore him so don't need to see the image any more...
First time I tried 'Ignore'. It works That guy had posted his personal hobbies to several crypto coin pages. Possibly he has some pain ... hate against other coins. Same here. First ignore on this forum. This truly is a memorable day! |

Is NOT going in the summaries!
Yeah, that would suck. Sry. Made me laugh, it's ok |

Just read this and it's a very inspiring article. Required reading for anyone who wants to know the power of AE. |

So why the hell he is asking this stupid question? Of course it would not be float. Maybe because i have no knowledge in programing language? I just know/heard floating point are not very good for any financial system, or anything that recquire accuracy. So i thought it would be best to express it, to be sure, even if it appear stupid to some people... Just take it as a compliment that everyone in here thinks that the other is equally capable Welcome to the thread |

Guys I need some links for educating someone in NXT!
Question on making things easier to find. Something like a NXT secretary, scribe, or archivist? Yes. Something to compile existing info, clarify, update and fill in gaps or make more accurate. And also index info for easier access by different demographics. Now that it seems as though the structure of the network is coming together solidly, and details are being be made more concrete. It would be advantageous to have a ready supply of easily accessed info assembled. If there isn't something already. There is a lot more to NXT than it being a coin; it is capable of a lot more. I don't want the fact that people can be lazy and the fact that this info takes effort to find, sort through and digest to create an impression on people that it is just a coin. We should spoon feed the info and impression we want to make, and keep people from having to search around; eliminate redundancy, and provide info that is accurate and concise and propagates NXT in a light of the community interest. Threads http://www.nxtcoins.nl/bitcointalk-threads/Overall Activity http://www.nxtcoins.nl/50-2/Damelon does a great job keeping everything in order. Thanks, but I think that Jerical has a point. For instance, I have made a choice not to go into discussions or into technical details, because I cannot do these topics justice. I don't have the background to filter out important stuff for technical questions and discussions and it *would* be good to have them, if only to allow people to quickly leaf through them so they can get a quick "boost" to their creativity. On the other hand, if you look at how easy it is just to make a simple list in WordPress, there is no need to make it more difficult than it needs to be. I would be happy to give people access as a contributor to the site so they can keep track of the things I can't keep track of. Or for material from others to be published on the site. The whole aim is accessibility. We have already tried docs etc, but the point is, all of these still require regular maintenance, or they become useless. So if anyone wants to use my site to keep people posted on the more technical aspects, you are most welcome. Just drop me a PM and we'll work something out. |

I was wondering about this. So this is legit and not just a way to get hold of email adresses? Also, they need to update where to get the wallet |

Big words!
Thanks. I just wonder why Ciyam and James are not the candidates for tech committee. I wish they were. Probably WAY to busy creating things! |

I made an easy page for hopefully most of the BCT threads: http://www.nxtcoins.nl/bitcointalk-threads/There is more than enough activity outside of this thread, contrary what people may think. Chances are I've missed some. If people who are involved in these could send me a PM, I'll add them. Thanks! Everyone should bookmark this this link. Please keep me updated on threads that are created. I'll add them in, so we can keep track. Edit: I'll add in threads from the other forums, too, if people can point me to the active and important ones. This is a good way to track threads across forums, I think. |

Leave the thread as it is, please Organising things isn't always the best thing to do. It can dilute the focus and frequently does. I like to scroll through the thread and pick up diverse topics and sometimes they "click" together into something unexpected. That wouldn't happen if things were in separate topics. Also: people áre already making separate topics. Sometimes here, sometimes on the other forums. And people are also doing loads off-thread in PM and Skype, Google Docs and IRC. Loads of things aren't discussed here that get done in a quick PM and then results get posted here. We're not bound by this thread as it is! as-needed" basis is much more fun. I think I follow about 15 threads both on this forum and others and also have docs and IRC open. It may be like herding cats, but i líke cats! Also, we can herd ourselves |

Once again: thanks for stepping out of your comfort zone It IS terrifying. It's also of tremendous value. So thanks! |
